N  response  to  requests  from  architects,  interior  decorators  and 
others,  we  have  issued  this  catalog  illustrating  Segnam  Rub¬ 
ber  Tile  manufactured  and  installed  exclusively  by  Simon 
Manges  &  Son,  Inc. 

In  the  manufacture  of  rubber  tile,  in  recent  years  great  advances  have 
been  made  with  which  our  well  equipped  modern  factory  has  kept 
pace.  We  make  no  superlative  claims  for  our  product  beyond  the  fact 
that  it  is  made  of  the  finest  raw  materials  by  the  most  up-to-date 
methods.  In  wearing  quality  and  appearance  it  is  the  equal  of  any  com¬ 
petitive  tile  on  the  market  and  when  further  laboratory  research  de¬ 
velops  the  possibility  of  improving  the  quality,  Segnam  Rubber  Tile 
immediately  will  be  brought  to  the  new  standard.

❖  Laying  Method 

Where  floors  are  of  cement  or  concrete, Segnam 
Rubber  Tile  is  affixed  direct  to  the  floor  with 
the  aid  of  Segnam  Tile  Cement,  a  special  ad¬ 
hesive  made  exclusively  for  us.  Where  floors 
are  of  wood,  it  is  necessary  to  make  allowance 
for  the  expansion  and  contraction  of  the 
surface  on  which  the  tile  is  to  be  laid.  Under 
these  circumstances  we  first  affix  to  the  floor 
a  layer  of  one  and  one  half  pound  deadening 
felt  over  which  a  heavy  cotton  sheeting  is 
tacked.  These  tacks  stud  the  entire  surface  of 
the  floor  so  as  to  hold  the  material  firmly  in 
place.  It  is  on  this  base  that  the  tile  is  then 
cemented.  In  evolving  the  design  our  tile 
layers  work  with  the  aid  of  a  blue  print 
especially  prepared  for  the  job  in  question. 

We  pride  ourselves  upon  the  skill  of  our 
workmen.  On  the  care  and  ability  of  these 
men  depend  the  appearance  and  wear  of  the 
tile.  The  method  of  installation  is  fully  as 
important  as  the  quality  of  the  tile  itself. 

Architects  and  builders  who  are  desirous 
of  having  a  technical  description  of  the  proper 
specifications  for  the  laying  of  our  tile  will 
^  receive  this  on  request. 

Directions  for  Ordering 

All  the  designs  shown  in  this  catalog  may  be  had  in  a  wide  variety  of  hues.  If  ordering  it  is  sug¬ 
gested  that  the  specifications  be  similar  to  the  descriptions  under  the  illustrations  on  pages  5, 
6  and  7.  It  will  readily  be  observed  that  a  wide  variety  of  attractive  effects  may  be  obtained  by 
combining  different  colors  in  the  designs  shown  in  this  book.  Thus,  for  example,  the  Isolated 
Square  Design  shown  in  cream  and  black  on  page  7  might  be  ordered  as  follows: 

ISOLATED  SQUARE  DESIGN 
Field — 6"  x  12"  Color  39-72  6"  x  6"  Color  7016. 

Ribbon — 1" — Color  1073. 

Border — Color  7016. 

This  would  produce  an  effect  in  ecru,  black  and  red  which  would  be  equally  attractive 
though  quite  different  in  effect  from  the  design  shown  in  the  book. 

Orders  or  requests  for  estimate  sent  by  mail  should  be  accompanied  by  a  plan  of  the  spaces 
to  be  covered.  It  is  unnecessary  to  specify  the  width  of  borders  as  these  necessarily  vary  to  conform 
with  the  size  of  the  room.  We  endeavor,  so  far  as  possible,  to  allow  for  9  inch  borders.  Our  tile, 
when  properly  laid,  should  have  few  if  any  broken  figures  in  the  field. 

We  prefer  Segnam  Tile  to  be  laid  by  our  workman.  With  the  exception  of  train  fare,  we  make 
no  extra  charge  for  measuring  and  laying  within  a  radius  of  75  miles  of  New  York. 

The  price  per  foot  is  governed  by  the  quantity  to  be  used,  the  nature  of  the  pattern  and  the 
condition  of  the  floor  on  which  the  tile  is  to  be  laid.  Intricate  patterns  such  as  the  Blazing  Star 
Design  and  the  Moorish  Tile  Design  are  a  bit  higher  in  price  than  the  simpler  patterns.  We  will 
be  pleased  to  submit  estimates  on  any  projected  installations.  Our  representative  will  call  with 
samples  on  request. 


Weights  and  Sizes 

Segnam  Rubber  Tile  is  made  in  two  weights, 
3-16  inch  thick  and  14  inch  thick  respectively. 
The  former  is  by  far  the  most  popular  in 
demand  as  only  the  most  unusual  conditions 
of  wear  demand  the  use  of  the  heavier  tile. 

Tiles  are  cut  in  the  following  regular  sizes : 
6  x  6,  9  x  9,  nx  n,  6  x  9,  6  x  ii,  9  x  iz, 
9  x  18  and  iz  x  z/\  inches.  Special  sizes  or 
shapes  are  also  obtainable. 

Cove  Base  is  made  in  two  heights,  4  inches 
and  6  inches  respectively. 

Colors 

Segnam  Rubber  Tile  is  made  in  a  wide  variety 
of  colors,  plain  and  marbleized.  A  number  of 
marbleized  effects  are  illustrated  in  this  catalog 
and  special  colors  are  also  obtainable. 

Quality 

Segnam  Rubber  Tile  is  a  compound  of  rubber 
vulcanized  under  hydraulic  pressure.  It  is 
soft,  resilient  and  quiet  under  foot.  It  offers 
great  resistance  to  wear,  is  sanitary  and  fire 
resistant.  In  appearance  it  is  the  most  at¬ 
tractive  form  of  flooring.
